Kebab has become very popular since around 2000. Everybody knows it in Japan today. Food stalls selling kebab are available at amusement parks and festivals. Also, many kebab vans are selling kebab for takeout in towns. Thanks to its popularity, an event bringing many kebab shops to one place was held in a park in Tokyo in autumn 2014 and 2015. Turkish-style ice cream created based on Dondurma (Turkish ice cream) was launched by a Japanese company in 2001.

Kebab, a grilled meat dish, can be cooked in various ways. But Doner kebab is the most famous in Japan. Doner kebab is a dish made of a big chunk of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The shop staff slices its cooked meat and serves it to customers. The sliced meat is usually eaten with salad in pita bread as a sandwich in Japan. This is a very popular takeout food.

Ice cream is everyone's favorite dessert in Japan. Even in cold winter, people purchase ice cream from convenience stores. Turkish style ice cream created based on Turkish Dondurma caught Japanese people's heart. Dondurma is sticky and stretchy. Japanese Turkish style ice cream uses different ingredients and is made with a different method from Dondurma, but it has similar texture. It became a fad that faded away once, but it was relaunched in 2014 and made its fans excited.
